Bertinga is a vineyard, a wine and a true wonder in the Italian winemaking scene located in the heart of Tuscany, atop the highest hills of Gaiole in Chianti.
Two varieties of grapes, Sangiovese and Merlot, those which wrote the history of this territory; estate grown and sustainably farmed.
Three vineyards – 22ha under vines – closed in a magical circle of a few square kilometers atop the steep hills towering the Chianti Classico region. The iconic Bertinga Vineyard, the Vertine Vineyard, and the Adine Vineyard; three iconic sites, showing differences in terms of soil and orientation yet sharing significant altitude, steepness and uncontaminated surroundings.
Five wines, each with a strong identity: the namesake Bertinga, the flagship wine of the winery, blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from single vineyard, the “second vin” Sassi Chiusi, unified expression of the three vineyards, a Chianti Classico 100% Sangiovese from the single Vertine Vineyard and, only in the best vintages, two single-block crus: Punta di Adine, pure Sangiovese from block #100 of Adine Vineyard and Volta di Bertinga, pure Merlot from block #10 of Bertinga Vineyard.
Except for the Chianti Classico, all Bertinga wines are aged in the bottle at the winery between 3 and 6 years depending on the type and vintage in order to offer the perfect drinking condition upon release.
The complexity, the intriguing tension, the severe elegance and the natural longevity of all the wines define the style of Bertinga which, despite being founded as recently as 2015, has already been unanimously recognized by the international wine community as the rising star in the Italian fine wine scene.
